Today:

Journal Prompt:  Write a poem on the topic of LOVE.  20 lines min.

We looked at the poems that you read fro HW

We looked at the poetry of Robert Herrick.

We discussed George Herbert and landed on the basic idea of an Ode.  We read an Ode to Ben Jonson

I broke you up into groups of 2 and asked you to write an Ode to something or someone important to you.  It was interesting to see all of the things you wrote about- from the lunch lady to your Mom.

HW:  Please read the last two poem by Sir John Suckling- the poet with the worst last name of all time.
